I finally got my Mitras set up, both in slave mode address 2 and 3 with profilux (with PWC card) as address 1. I loaded the RRL17k lighting and shifted it to run 9AM to 9PM. Everything was fine. I wanted moonlight so I set the royal blue to 1% at the first and last scheduled slot instead of all at 0% and set the moon simulation to run 9PM to 9AM. Again all was fine.
Now here's the problem. I wanted the moonlight to be off midnight to 5 AM. I added another scheduled slot at midnight with 1% on royal blue (so it wouldn't try to slowly ramp down from 9PM to midnight) and then 12:01 all 0%. Similarly I did 5 AM 0% and 5:01 AM 1% on royal blue. When I load that, the lights just stay on even though illumination channels in profilux say they are all off. Luckily I checked on it last night after 9 PM when it should have ramped down to the moonlight and noticed the lights were still bright.
I tried adding those time slots both in multichannel setup as well as doing it in light composer and sending the new schedule to multichannel and either way the same thing happens. Everything looks correct on profilux either with app or GCC but the lights show on. Deleting the extra time slots reliably fixes things but forces me into either no moonlight or all night moonlight. Is there a limit to the number of schedule slots that can be set? Any other ideas of what might be causing the problem?
Two other semi-related issues:
1) Is there any way to temporarily change the lighting. For example, when adding new livestock to temporarily darken things or when cleaning to temporarily set a whiter light? I can see where maintenance mode can trigger settings on a lightbar but I can’t see a way to do it with Mitras LX7. From the Mitras manual it seems that this is an option in GCC when connecting directly to the light but is it possible this feature is unavailable when the light is a slave to profilux?
2) Is there any way to change the clock to 24 hour? I have been unable to find a setting for that but would greatly prefer it. I have found that GCC seems to use the computer setting but the app (ios and android) seem to only show me AM/PM despite the device being set for 24 hour clock.
Thanks!
